Digital Shield is a community-oriented training initiative focused on strengthening digital literacy, online safety, and information resilience across newcomer and diaspora communities in Atlantic Canada. The program delivers structured workshops that help participants recognize online risks, understand modern information ecosystems, and make informed decisions in digital spaces. 

Digital Shield combines instructor-led sessions, practical exercises, and community consultations to build long-term digital confidence. The program is designed to be accessible to non-technical audiences while still delivering meaningful skills in information awareness, platform behavior, and safe online practices. Training modules are adapted for youth, newcomer groups, or partner organizations across Atlantic Canada.
